Abstract The meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method with an efficient technique to deal with the time variable are used to solve the heat conduction problem in this paper. The MLPG is a meshless method which is (mostly) based on the moving least squares (MLS) scheme to approximate the trial space. In this paper the MLS is used for approximation in both time and space domains, and we avoid using the time difference discretization or Laplace transform method to overcome the time variable. The technique is applied for continuously nonhomogeneous functionally graded materials (FGM) in a finite More >
